VictoriaBԪַs Royal B.C. Museum (RBCM) is still celebrating its current historic exhibit: Maya, The Great Jaguar Rises, but that doesnBԪַt mean itBԪַs not planning its upcoming features.

Beginning Feb. 14 to March 29 the museum will once again feature the Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibit, a local favourite.

The short-lived special will then be replaced by a much larger showBԪַ literally.

The next feature exhibit will be titled Orcas, and explore the importance of the southern resident killer whales and their declining population.

While most information is still under wraps, one preview can be seen it the RBCMBԪַs recent request for proposal, which is looking for fabricators to create three life-sized orcas for the exhibit.

The orcas are based on three J-pod members whoBԪַve passed away in recent years: a 9 meter-long likeness of the male orca, J1 (Ruffles), a 7 metre-long version of J-16 (Slick) and a 3.2 meter-long likeness of a calf, J-50 (Scarlett).

A separate request for proposal from the museum is asking for an audio-visual specialist to help produce visual and digital services for the upcoming exhibit.

Orcas is set to open around May 2020.
